APS Application Review

A polished draft can still miss the evidence, level or alignment the panel needs. Professional Resumes Australia reviews self-written and AI-assisted APS applications and gives you practical, prioritised feedback before you submit.

Selection Criteria

Strong selection criteria responses do more than repeat your resume. They use relevant evidence to show the panel how you have applied your skills, judgement and experience—and the outcomes you achieved.

What our clients say

Read public Google Reviews from clients who worked with Professional Resumes Australia on resumes, cover letters, selection criteria and interview coaching.

I contacted Professional Resumes Australia after a friend recommended them, and it was one of the best decisions I made. … The Team were so supportive and knowledgeable about the changes and what to expect.

Emilie Coots really did a fantastic job with my resume. Professionally laid out and all according to the job specifications I requested. Highly recommend

Michaela and her team including Rebecca as my interview coach were incredible. I learnt so much on writing the perfect resume, cover letter, and how to best address selection criteria. In my one to one interview coaching with Rebecca, we did a mock interview that helped me orient myself for the real one and reduced my nerves significantly as I had an area expert who asked me a variety of questions before my final interview. With the help of the team, I received a job offer for my dream job! I am forever grateful for Professional Resumes Australia with their help and support during the process. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new role.

I’m super happy with my new resume and cover letter. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and all complete within the week. It’s made what can be a stressful time so much easier and I’ve already received an invitation to interview. Thank you!!
